World number one Novak Djokovic believes Britain’s Andy Murray will eventually
be “the one to look out for” in Grand Slam events.

The Serbian won three of this year’s four Grand Slams and 64 of his 66 matches
thus far during an extraordinary season as he pulled clear of Murray, Roger
Federer and Rafael Nadal to become the world’s top player.

But he remains a fan of Murray and believes that the Scot will break through
and start winning major titles. “Regarding Andy, he’s a player with a lot of
quality and potential, he’s proved that on many occasions," said
Djokovic. “He’s played in three Grand Slam finals - all right, in those
finals he has not managed to step up and play his game, but it takes time to
overcome those pressures and expectations.
